Id-ul-Zuha
or Bakrid is one of the most celebrated festivals among Muslims of
India. The festival of sacrifice, when the Muslims of all over India
sacrifice 'Bakra' (goat), is observed to commemorate the great
sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim who was so devoted, faithful and obedient
to God's will that he unhesitatingly agreed to sacrifice his only son
Ismail at His behest. It is said that it was to test him that Allah
asked him to sacrifice his son on the altar at the mount of Mina near
Mecca. Ibrahim, moved by his paternal feelings and yet determined to
follow Allah's instructions blindfolded himself before sacrificing his
son and only removed the blindfold after performing the act. When he
opened his eyes, he found his son alive and smiling to his great joy.
